Sprint Adding 4G LTE to Nine Additional Cities in Coming Months
Power data users in several cities will soon enjoy a 4G LTE experience
with the only truly unlimited 4G LTE plans from a national carrier
OVERLAND PARK, Kan. (BUSINESS WIRE), November 13, 2012 - Continuing
its aggressive push to deliver an enhanced top-tier network experience
for customers, Sprint (NYSE:S) announced today that its 4G LTE network
build is progressing in nine additional cities within its nationwide
3G footprint.
Work has begun on the 4G LTE Network in the following additional
areas:
-
Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minn.
-
Fort Smith, Ark.
-
Ardmore, Okla.
-
Oakland/Fremont/
-
Michigan City/
-
McAllen/Edinburg/
Hayward, Calif. La Porte, Ind. Mission, Texas
-
Key West, Fla.
-
Bloomington, Ind.
-
Eau Claire, Wis.
"We're committed to providing improved 3G and 4G LTE as quickly
as possible, and keeping our customers informed as to when and where
they can experience the new network's superior performance and
speed," said Bob Azzi, senior vice president-Network, Sprint.
"Our customers depend on their mobile devices as their primary
source of communication, business connectivity and entertainment.
We're delivering all of that functionality at a very competitive
price."
During the pre-launch phase, Sprint customers with capable devices may
begin to see 4G LTE coverage in these areas and are welcome to use the
network even before it officially launches. Sprint plans to announce
commercial availability of 4G LTE in these cities in the coming
months, followed by continued enhancements in coverage, performance
and reliability. Ultimately, Sprint's 4G LTE coverage is expected to
largely match the existing nationwide 3G footprint.
Sprint has announced more than 125 cities where Sprint 4G LTE is on
its way, including Boston; Charlotte, N.C.; Indianapolis; Los Angeles;
Memphis, Tenn.; Miami; Nashville, Tenn.; New Orleans; New York;
Philadelphia; and Washington, D.C. To find out more about which
markets currently have Sprint 4G LTE and which markets are coming
next, please visit www.sprint.com/4GLTE.
Sprint introduced its all-new 4G LTE network in July 2012 and
currently offers service in 32 cities1. As part of its overall network
strategy, Sprint is also doing a complete overhaul of its 3G
infrastructure so that customers can enjoy better wireless signal
strength, in-building coverage, and fewer dropped/blocked calls. These
enhancements are now available to customers in several markets across
the country, with significant deployment in Baltimore, Boston,
Chicago, Los Angeles, New York and Washington, D.C., and will continue
to improve in the weeks and months ahead. With these enhancements to
Sprint's 3G network, the company's prepaid customers, on Virgin Mobile
and Boost Mobile, will also benefit and can expect to see better
coverage, improved network reliability and voice quality resulting in
up to 20 to 30 percent fewer dropped and blocked calls.
Unlimited + Sprint 4G LTE = Game-changing wireless offer for
customers
In today's competitive wireless market, the value of unlimited has
never been more apparent and Sprint is clearly a leading choice in
wireless. Customers with capable devices can combine Sprint's all-new
3G and 4G LTE networks and enjoy unlimited data while on the Sprint
network. Data usage continues to increase and consumers value Truly
Unlimited data because it's simple and straightforward while on the
Sprint network there is no metering, no throttling, and no need to
share data, which increases the likelihood of a surprise monthly bill
because of overage charges.
Coupled with unbeatable plans and fast devices, Sprint has been
working hard to deliver the best customer experience in the past few
years. The 2012 American Customer Satisfaction Index ranked Sprint No.
1 among all national carriers in customer satisfaction and most
improved, across all 47 industries measured, over the last four years.
And Sprint has been ranked Highest in Satisfaction with the Purchase
Experience among Full-service Wireless Providers three times in a row
by J.D. Power and Associates.
